Food and Dining
Alizar
Very slow service. We waited for over an hour for our entree while watching people seated next to us who came in 30 minutes after us already finish their entrees . We almost had to chase someone down to get water refills while waiting our hour. We made mention of our concerns to the waiter and his only reply was they only have one kitchen for two dining rooms. It has been that way since they built the ship I believe but doesn't answer why one table is served so quickly while others wait an inordinate time for the same basic meal.
Grand Pacific
Nice ambiance and good wait staff. We ate breakfast and dinner there and we were generally pleased. The only dish I was not impressed with for breakfast was the biscuits and sausage gravy which was in fact a biscuit with a mere drizzle of gravy on the plate. Dinner entrees were quite pleasing. Nice views of the water from this venue.
O'Sheehan's Bar & Grill
We ate there a few times. The sausage sliders were tasty Ruben sandwich was also a good choice. Overall nice ambiance.
Cagney's Steakhouse
Very nice meal. Service was exceptional and the food was very good. Highly recommend for a nice dinner.
